The bar menacingly fell from above with Martin unable to move on the ground before it trapped him completely.
In the scary scenes, the bar could be seen crushing him as he screamed out in pain as it appeared that his fate could well and truly be sealed.
Now, actor James has sparked even more concern that Martin could be dead for good.
Following the broadcast of the episode, James took to Instagram to share a tribute post to the show which many of his fans took as being a goodbye to the show that made him a star.
Alongside a collection of images of him as Martin, James wrote a lengthy caption about his time on the show.
The actor said: “A decade ago, I was welcomed into the EastEnders family at Elstree—and that’s exactly what we are.
“No doubt, it’s a madhouse most days, but it’s also a place filled with people, both on and off screen, who pour their hearts into this show every single day.
“It’s truly special, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it, surrounded by the amazing people who make EastEnders what it is.
“Happy 40th @bbceastenders.”
The sentimental message caused concern among his fans as many shared their devastation at the thought of him dying.
Writing underneath the post, one fan said: “Is your post a good bye… no we love Martin and you are the best Martin of them all.”
Another added: “If Martin dies then we riot.”
A third show superfan then declared: “Don’t you dare be going anywhere cause I’ll be fuming.”
Before a fourth passionately commented: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!
“I swear to our lord and saviour Dorothy Cotton that if Martin dies I will never ever watch EastEnders again after this happened!
“They should be allowed to sit on that sofa together till they’re old and I won’t have anything else.”
